On 30 square meters, the tiny house has a bathroom, a bedroom with a double bed (140 cm wide), a fitted kitchen and a living room, all simple and minimalist. The covered terrace is 30 square meters in size and feels like a mini Ponderosa. A place for nature-loving guests. In summer, think about mosquito/insect protection. Electricity by meter, no bed linen/towels. - "We have everything you need.

    The hut is very easy to reach. It's only a few minutes by bike from the train station. There are a few shops in the area and a café right next door with delicious cakes, an excellent vegan currywurst and an attached organic/unpackaged store. In half an hour by bike you can be in Wilhelmshaven, where there is also something going on in the evening (cinema, concert, etc.) The hut is very cozy and is well suited for a reading vacation (we had a slightly larger selection of books with us). Another review said that the kitchen was too low. We see it differently. The sink is a bit deep, but if you only have to wash up for two people, that's fine. Overall, the hut is not necessarily for very tall people. There were several infrared heaters and a fire bowl outside so you don't freeze (but you have to organize your own firewood--> a DIY store is nearby!). We felt very comfortable.

    As already mentioned in other reviews, there is a busy road right next to the cottage. You actually have to deduct half the points for this. Just when you hear a bird chirping, a car is guaranteed to come roaring past and you can't hear a thing. At least if you're sitting outside. On the other hand, there are also a few extra points. The wild garden is populated by various birds and even a few squirrels. If you are looking for peace and quiet, you can go into the forest right next door (approx. 90 seconds on foot). The nature experience there is outstanding. It is nice and quiet in the hut itself. You can hardly hear the road, but you can hear the occasional animal scurrying across the roof.

    The furnishing of the cottage is minimal. Anyone who wants to cook/wash dishes in the kitchen must get on their knees or grab a chair.

    The frame of the bed is a frame cobbled together with wooden beams that stands crosswise in the room. The one lying against the wall has to climb over the other. The slatted base fell loose in the middle and the mattress bowed out. The bathroom has a wooden floor but no ventilation. A moisture trap should solve this, but did not help. The furniture is old, the cutlery and pans were not clean. We bought a set of pans and plates/glasses ourselves. The electrical system in the cottage is not safely installed. There are extension cords in the bathroom and right above the toilet the water heater hangs making loud squeaking noises. We left after a week because we found mouse droppings everywhere in the kitchen cabinets.
    We reported this to the manager, but he did not want to do anything about it.

    Response landlord: The furnishing of the house is minimal. That's right: that's what the ad says. That is exactly what guests are looking for in the cabin. If you want to cook/wash dishes in the kitchen, you have to get on your knees or grab a chair. Why? The worktop has the normal height of 80 cm. The frame of the bed is a cobbled together frame of wooden beams that stands across the room. The person lying against the wall has to climb over the other person. That's right: the 140-cm wide bed fits perfectly into the tiny room with a wooden frame. It is a tinyhouse/hut with 30 square meters of living space. The slatted base came loose in the middle and the mattress sagged. The bed is not a trampoline. The bathroom has a wooden floor but no ventilation. The bathroom has an opening window and is separated by sliding doors with louvers for optimal air circulation. A dehumidifier should help but did not. The dehumidifier works perfectly. The furniture is old (yes, the oak table is 300 years old, the chairs are also antique and valuable), the cutlery and pans were not clean (no comment). We bought a set of pans and plates/glasses ourselves. The electrical system in the cottage was not installed safely. The electrical system is new and professionally renewed by a specialized company with a prescribed ground fault circuit breaker There are extension cords in the bathroom (there are no extension cords in the bathroom) and the water heater hangs directly over the toilet, which makes loud squeaking noises. Yes, the new water heater makes noises when water is tapped. We left after a week because we found mouse droppings everywhere in the kitchen cabinets. If the dog can run in and out of the cottage, all the animals in the woods can also run in and out, including mice. We reported this to the manager, but he wouldn't do anything about it. Nothing at all was reported to me as "manager", the reason for the early departure was that the guests had left because of psychological problems with their daughters who had stayed at home. Never again here. We are not waiting for such dishonest / lying guests.

    Right next to the cottage is a through road that is not too disruptive. The enclosed garden was very nice for our dog. He could walk in and out of the cottage whenever he wanted. The garden was a real nature garden full of weeds. Because of the bed and the total decoration we did not really get our rest. We had to catch up on that at home.
